Location

When you are at the top of this second waterfall and looking down canyon, let's say that the waterfall is at 6 'O Clock. In order to see the cave from here, you need to stand at 5 'O Clock. The path to go down the waterfall is slightly above at 5 PM. Look for a "Baghwa Flag" (Saffron flag) and the path extends along the cliff counter clockwise till 1 'O Clock. There are 2 huge rocks painted "OHM" on it. Please make sure you follow those. From 1 'O Clock, there is a gradual descent towards the lake. The cave is at 'O Clock. You will have to climb around 30 feet to reach the cave. Please be respectful of the hermit who lives and maintains the area. Gokul Gokul - 27/09/2017

This Cave is in the canyon. There are 2 waterfalls in this place. There is a shiva temple near the bottom of the first waterfall and usually people are allowed to go only till the temple. During rainy season, there will be few cops stationed at the temple to prevent people from going down to the stream bed. Many people go till the top of the second waterfall and come back. If you go enough to the right side of the second waterfall, you will be able to get a glimpse of the cave - down the second waterfall on the left side. There is usually a "Sanyasi" (hermit) living in that cave. Sometimes few of his disciples will also be there. They might even be smoking up. Initially, it will appear to you that is there is no path to reach that cave but, there is a narrow path on the right hand side of the cliff. It goes around on the right and then slowly descends back towards the lake at the bottom of the waterfall. Gokul Gokul - 27/09/2017
